The Lifting Engineer’s Handbook is a 128-page, pocket size book that summarises the practical and theoretical information necessary to ensure test, verification and examination procedures are completed to the highest professional standards and in line with the latest UK regulations.

The new Lifting Engineers handbook

The book combines long-established best practice with relatively modern developments such as risk assessments and method statements. Specific subjects addressed include the principles of verifying equipment, basic procedures for thorough examination, and non-destructive tests.

A wide range of product-specific information along with a review of relevant UK legislation, but the Handbook’s emphasis on ‘good practice’ and should prove equally useful in many international markets.

The Lifting Engineer’s Handbook is available direct from the LEEA. Prices for non-members start at £20 (including postage and packing) for a single copy, with discounts available to members of the LEEA, and for larger order quantities.
